A light-colored gravestone marks the grave of Sarah Collins in a cemetery in Caribou, a small mining town in Boulder County, Colorado. The gravestone has a dove engraved near its top and reads: "Sarah Collins Wife of James Collins Died Oct. 5, 1875 Aged 36 years." James Collins was a mining superintendent in Gilpin County and started a stamp mill in Russell Gulch. Square, wood beams lie on the ground surrounding the grave. A ridge of mountains is in the distance.
